I do not need to re-read your post... the facts are that carperter was on a shoestring budget and had zero cash to complete the 1978 film.... THE mask for halloween one was found in the trash at the studio and painted white and eyebrows removed..... and as we know of course it was a william shatner prop, and along with the greasy overalls this was it !!
I would suggest you do your own research.... John Carperter did not not have 10 cents to rub together from the halloween movie Franchise from the beginning and thats why one mask was used in halloween one,,, which is why it deteriorated so badly as seen in the photo you kindly supplied...too much bollox going on in ones heads....
I can’t tell if you are trolling or just incredibly misinformed. Assuming it is the latter, I will provide some evidence.
Here you can see John Carpenter, (Left, STUNT) Tommy Lee Wallace, (Middle, STUNT) and Nick Castle (Right, HERO) at the wrap party of the first Halloween. They were in a band called The Coup de Villes.
Here is Nick Castle (Left, HERO) with John Carpenter. (Right, STUNT)
Here is a photo of Jamie Lee Curtis wearing the other stunt mask. (Pictured on John Carpenter above in the band photo..)
Here are the two additional Tramer masks in Halloween 2.
Now math has never been my strong suit, but that is five masks.
As for your other ridiculous claim, out of the trash? Not quite. The story of the masks has been told countless times by the man himself in interviews, but to sum up, Tommy Lee Wallace purchased them from a costume shop on Hollywood blvd and converted them himself.
I mean this with no disrespect, but you are commenting on something with no education on the matter. Again, Michael-Myers net is a great resource. Kim Gottleib’s book is a great resource. What you are spreading as “facts” can be disproved with a simple google search.
My original point, and the point of this thread, still stands. Every mask, aside from the H1/2 Hero mask, is either lost or destroyed.
